Scenario-based interactive UI design

Abstract

Clearly picturing user behavior is one of the key requirements when designing successful interactive software. However, covering all possible user behaviors with one UI is a complex challenge. The Scenario-based Interactive UI Design tool is designed to support the characterization of user behavior based on scenarios and then using the information in UI design. Scenarios make it easy to understand and share user behavior even if we have little design knowledge. However, they have two big weaknesses; 1) integrating several scenarios in one UI is difficult, even if we can create appropriate scenarios, 2) maintaining the links between scenarios and the UI is a heavy task in iterative design. Our tool solves the above problems through its hierarchical scenario structure and visualized overview of scenarios. It enhances the designer's skill in writing scenarios and designing UIs smoothly and easily.

Natural language generation to support the understanding of task models

“…Les résultats de cette évaluations permettrait notamment de réaliser un système de génération multimédia où la représentation graphique serait complété d'une description textuelle soulignant les informations plus difficilement accessibles par le graphique. L'utilisateur du modèle de tâches pourrait ainsi passer d'une représentation à l'autre en fonction de ses besoins comme [16] le propose entre les scénarios et l'UI pendant la conception de celle-ci.…”

Managing Emotional Requirements in a Context-Aware Mobile Application for Tourists

“…The frequency indicates how often a task is carried out in a day. We applied a scenario-based design [50] to represent the findings of the data analysis as a context-aware tourism application concept. This is an appropriate design approach for this context because it allows for presenting user behavior and interaction with the potential application as a short story.…”
